Saijo Urban Hotel

There is an onsen for guests' use on the top floor. You can look out at the surrounding mountains, and can see Mount Ichizuchi from the bath. That made it that little bit more special than some other onsen's I used. Very convenient location for train travel. I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel, as I only booked it for the location. It is one minute walk from the train station and there are bus stops outside the train station which you can use to get to the Mount Ichizuchi ropeway. There is a machine for ice in reception.

There was only one elevator and sometimes that meant it got busy and you had to wait a bit longer before it came. The Yukata was a little bit scratchy to wear. Not much the hotel could do about this, but I could hear the pedestrian crossing beeping from my room, which could have gotten annoying. It was mostly muffled out when I had the air conditioning on though.

We hadn't planned on staying in Saijo, but because no other hotels were available in Western Shikoku, we decided to go there. We were pleasantly surprised. Very nice hotel with friendly staff and clean comfy rooms. Bonus was the bath on the top floor and relatively easy to access expressway.

Surrounding neighborhood kind of . . . dead.

It's right next to the station, so if you have to be in Saijou for whatever reason (say, hiking), it's the perfect location. Very convenient and clean, and the staff was super kind. . Also, wonderful views of 石鎚山.

The place felt a bit outdated, and the rooms are very small. I didn't mind though.

- Convenient location with parking a couple minutes walk from the hotel - Room and bed were comfortable - A good location for heading to Mt. Ishizuchi - I appreciated the key needed for the women’s onsen so it felt more safe

- The water pressure in our room was terrible. Both the shower and sink. I’m not sure if it’s an issue across rooms or just something wrong with ours - Now that I think about it, it makes sense, but all the pictures of the beautiful view from the onsen are only of the men’s one. The woman’s onsen windows are mostly covered and I wish they showed that. Also I wish it had been more clean.

Everything was really good except for tv channels Love that the aircon was adjustable and strong.

Tv had no international english channels. Should provide at least one english channel for news or allow casting Pillows not comfortable

located close acros the street from the train station and bus to Ischizuchisan (if you plan to climb..) Helpful staff.

there was quite a big step between the room and the bathroom.. not a big deal, just be careful :)

the staff was super friendly and made me feel welcomed. They answered all my questions. I had stayed at the property 1 or 2 times before and chose it because I was familiar,

nothing to complain about.

Perfect position and good, stable wi-fi connection for working. There is a bathroom on the 9th floor, enjoyable.

A bit expensive for my budget, there is only one elevator and you need to wait for long time if you are in a up room.

Nice Onsen. Nice bed linens. Great breakfast buffet.

my 6th floor room was at the end of the hall above the pedestrian crossing area, so I could hear its cheerful beeping.

All seemed quite new. Very good hotel. Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Good location close to railway station.
